Weaving Images

Rammstein is inspiring. They inspire writers, photographers, musicians, and artists alike. I've just found a rather a lovely illustrative piece inspired by Mein Herz Brennt.

LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 3.0

Promoted:

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillows my voice arrests
I've brought you all a special treat
I extracted it from my own chest

With this heart I have the power
Where your wee eyelids are concerned
I sing until the night's last hour
And glowing light on high returns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
The blackest fay and ghosts and demons
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you're hidden

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillows my voice bestirs
I've brought you all a special treat
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
And steal your heated little tears of pain
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them into my twisted and cold veins

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillows my voice recurs
I sing until the day relieves
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns

LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 1.3

I'm tempted to promote this, but have hung fire for now:

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillows my voice arrests
I've brought you all a special treat
I extracted it from my own chest

With this heart I have the power
Where your wee eyelids are concerned
I sing until the night's last hour
And glowing light on high returns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
The blackest fay and ghosts and demons
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you're hidden

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice bestirs
I've brought you all a special treat
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
And steal your heated little tears of pain
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them into my twisted and cold veins

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice recurs
I sing until the day relieves
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns

LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 1.2

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice arrests
I've brought you all a special treat
I tore it out from deep in my chest

With this heart I have the power
Where your wee eyelids are concerned
I sing until the night's last hour
And glowing light on high returns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
Demons and ghosts and the blackest fay
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you are lain

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice bestirs
I've brought you all a special treat
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
And steal your heated little tears of pain
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them into my cold and twisted veins

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice recurs
I sing until the day relieves
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns

LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 1.1

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice arrests
I've brought you all a special treat
I tore it out from deep in my chest

With this heart I have the power
Where your wee eyelids are concerned
I sing until the night's last hour
And glowing light on high returns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
Demons and ghosts and the blackened fay
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you all lay

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice bestirs
I've brought you all a special treat
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns

They come after you after dark
And steal your heated little tears of pain
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them into my cold and twisted veins

LILT: Mein Herz Brennt 1.0

A shaky start, but I'm enjoying the song:

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice's coming
I've brought you all a special treat
I tore it out from my own bosom

With this heart I have the power
Where your eyelids are concerned
I sing until the night's last hour
And glowing light on high returns
My heart burns

They come to you after dark
Demons and ghosts and the black fay
They creep out from the cellar shaft
And look under bedding where you are laid

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice comes
I've brought you all a special treat
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns

They come to you after dark
And steal all of your small and heated tears
They wait until the moon awakes
And put them into my cold and twisted veins

Come darling children, attend me
From 'neath your pillow my voice comes
I sing until the day relieves
The glowing light on high returns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns
My heart burns

Burning Hearts & Creepy Sandmen

I've begun work on Mein Herz Brennt, and I haven't got the faintest idea what Till's doing there. It's very creepy in a very dark and gleeful way, and I'm liking it, but I'm not sure what all the imagery and allusions pertain to. I'm not sure if there's some nasty paedophilic message in there, or if it's simply about what it seems to be about: darkness, fear, and the unknown goings on when we're not 'there' in the physical world. Or perhaps it's all about something else altogether.

I'm sure other people have ideas. Feel free to share them (link below).
